Season 2 Episode 22
Welcoming 2026 with Intention (Not Resolutions)
As we cross the threshold into a new year, this episode is an invitation to pause.
Not to fix. Not to decide who you need to become. But to arrive - in your body, in this moment, exactly as you are.
In this first episode of 2026, Tina explores a different way of orienting to the year ahead. One that moves away from resolutions, pressure, and future-focused striving … and back toward intention as a felt experience.
Intentions aren’t something you achieve. They aren’t goals or promises to your future self. They’re about how something feels to live inside you.
In this episode, Tina introduces the concept of interoception, your ability to sense what’s happening within your body, and why this inner listening is the foundation of true, sustainable intention. Not analysing. Not fixing. Just noticing.
Together, we explore:
- Why the start of a new year is a threshold, not a reset
- The difference between resolutions (mind-led) and intentions (body-led)
- How interoception helps you reconnect to your inner authority
- Why intentions are about orientation, not outcomes
- How to reflect on the past year without analysing or judging it
- Why humans are cyclical, not linear - and how that changes the way we grow
This episode isn’t a guided ritual or a step-by-step process. It’s an invitation to slow down, create space, and remember how to listen.
You’ll also hear reflections on this moment in the wider cycle, the closing of a year of shedding, and the gradual build toward renewed momentum, and why moving slowly now supports deeper alignment later.
If you’ve ever felt pressure to “get it right” at the start of a new year … If you’re tired of setting goals that pull you further out of yourself … If you’re ready to relate to intention as something you feel, not something you perform …
This episode is for you.
May you notice when you drift. May you come back gently. May you trust what your body already knows.
